Chapter 5878 (Five Thousand Eight Hundred and Seventy Eight) Essence

“You even understood what I pointed out?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“It’s so obvious.” The brown-handed man said, “Whether I stop it or not, the result will be the same. That’s what I mean. In any situation, whether you stop it or not, the result will be the same? You don’t need to think too much about this kind of thing, you can figure it out naturally, right?”

The Gray Hand Man did not answer this, but said: “You were quite direct when you said ‘fate’ before.”

“I can be more direct,” said the brown-handed man. “I can remove ‘fate’ and add ‘life’. How about that?”

The Gray Hand Man said: “If you had said that just now, I would feel that some of the things I said before and after were nonsense.”

The brown-handed man said, “You can talk nonsense?”

“I think what I said is nonsense, so what I said is nonsense.” said the man with gray hands.

“You didn’t even laugh when you said that?” the brown-handed man asked with a deliberate smile.

“Your smile seems forced.” said the man with gray hands.

“It turns out that forced laughter sounds different,” said the man with brown hands.

“Not necessarily.” said the man with gray hands.

“You may have to say something about this?” asked the man with brown hands.

“Because you have something on your mind, it’s easy for the forced laughter to sound like this, but it depends on the matter.” The gray-handed man said, “If you are thinking about something else, even if that thing affects the sound of your laughter, it won’t sound like this now.”

The brown-handed man said, “You’ve seen through it all, what else can I say?”

“You can say anything,” said the Gray Hand Man, “Of course, you don’t have to say anything either.”

“What you said is indeed funny, but when you think about what I was about to say just now, ‘life’, even if I laugh again, you will still hear something strange.” said the brown-handed man.

“So it’s not necessary to laugh at a time like this.” said the man with gray hands.

“Maybe it’s right now,” said the Brown-Handed Man.

The gray-handed man said, “Oh?” The brown-handed man said, “I mean, maybe it’s just that it’s hard to laugh so happily at this moment. Maybe in the next moment, even if the end is approaching, I can still laugh happily, and that will make me look more free and easy.”

The gray-handed man asked, “It seems?”

“Perhaps you can say it’s truly free and easy.” The brown-handed man said, “I used to think that being truly free and easy requires truly letting go, but now I think that’s not necessarily the case. You can be truly free and easy without truly letting go.”

“How?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Just listen to you, keep listening, and then secretly tell yourself that you can always do it.” said the man with brown hands.

“Do you believe it in your heart?” asked the man with gray hands.

“Yes,” said the brown-handed man, “speaking from your heart and believing it is the essence.”

“Is this essential part easy to do?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Let’s try.” said the brown-handed man.

“Haven’t you tried it seriously yet?” the Gray Hand Man asked again.

The brown-handed man said, “How can it be so easy to try it seriously?”

Gray Hand Man said, “Do you still need to concentrate?”

“Yes.” The brown-handed man said, “If you can’t concentrate, how can you convince yourself?”

“For people like you and me, ‘persuasion’ itself doesn’t seem to be a difficult task.” said the Gray Hand Man.

“You’re right. ‘Persuasion’ itself is not a difficult thing, but persuading yourself is a different matter,” said the brown-handed man.

“You seemed to be quite good at convincing yourself in the past?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“The environment is different now.” The brown-handed man said, “How difficult is it to convince yourself in such an environment?”
